After years of denial and reflection, Hunter Biden has finally acknowledged Joe Biden was the “Big Guy” referenced in previous emails Hunter sent to a Chinese state-lined energy firm that raked in millions from the Biden family.
Hunter acknowledged Joe Biden was the big guy during his six-hour deposition before the House Oversight Committee.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced Hunter’s admission and shared, “At one point, we asked Hunter about the 10% for the ‘big guy”.
“We showed him the email … And he said, ‘Oh, that was after my father left office,'” added Greene.

Here’s what The New York Post reported:
At long last, first son Hunter Biden affirmed during his Wednesday impeachment inquiry deposition that his father, Joe, was “the big guy” referenced in an email about a business deal with a Chinese state-linked energy firm that yielded millions for Biden family members and other associates, more than three years after The Post broke the story — but rejected the notion that the president was ever penciled in for a 10% stake.
“At one point, we asked Hunter about the 10% for the ‘big guy,’” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a member of the House Oversight Committee, told Breitbart following Hunter’s six-hour, closed-door deposition on Capitol Hill. “We showed him the email … And he said, ‘Oh, that was after my father left office.’”
The statement represents the first time the 54-year-old Hunter has admitted that his former business partner James Gilliar was referring to Joe Biden when he raised the prospect on May 13, 2017, of the first son holding a 10% stake in the lucrative joint venture involving CEFC China Energy “for the big guy.”
The email, found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, was first reported by The Post in October 2020 as part of a bombshell series of reports on the first son’s influence-peddling schemes. Hunter Biden and his allies had long insisted that information found on the laptop either was not his or had been manipulated by bad actors — with dozens of former intelligence officials insisting the trove bore the hallmarks of Russian election interference.
“What’s wrong with having a pie-in-the-sky idea?” Hunter reportedly said in response to the line of questioning, noting he assumed his father “was done” with holding public office in 2017 after eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president.

Here’s what ABC reported:
Hunter Biden on Wednesday condemned the GOP-led impeachment inquiry into his father, President Joe Biden, as a “political charade” and reiterated that he “never” involved his father in his own professional matters.
The president’s son sparred for the more than six hours with Republican lawmakers who have made him the centerpiece of their bid to find wrongdoing by the president.
The House Oversight and Judiciary Committees have yet to present firm evidence linking President Biden to his family’s business arrangements, and Wednesday’s long-awaited deposition appeared to provide Republicans with no new investigative leads.
Even so, Rep. James Comer, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, departed Capitol Hill vowing to press forward with their probe, suggesting that a public hearing might soon be necessary to dissect some “discrepancies” between Hunter Biden’s testimony and that of previous witnesses.
Comer did not elaborate on the nature of the alleged discrepancies.
Oh, Snap !!!
